As many as possible. It's one of the perks of my new job, free eggs.

Zero after I went vegan 3 years ago.

And honestly, when you know your way around a little and stick mostly to whole foods, it gets dirt cheap if you try. 💚

Whatever gets put in pad Thai once a week.

8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap

Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.

Don’t forget that most baked goods and other foods rely heavily on the eggs in their recipes. Most food sectors are affected.

Family of four. We probably go through 10 to-12 eggs a day much of the time. Scrambled eggs, French toast, homemade bread, cookies, pancakes, frittatas, huevos rancheros tacos... It adds up. I recently started buying the 18-egg packs because it's more cost-effective.

Prob 4-5. I mix up breakfasts with oatmeal or cereal.

Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D

12ish if were talking simply fried eggs, if you consider all the baked goods and stuff it probably closer to 24

5-6, and eggs aren’t expensive yet. I guess wherever we get eggs from don’t have avian flu yet …. Although it’s here in the wild

I have a bowl of cereal (yogurt and fruit) during the week, but usually make something with eggs on the weekend.

It's not inflation, it's bird flu reducing supply.

I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.

Eggs are too expensive.

According to this, as of 2019 -- which is a couple years back, though probably good if you want a pre-avian-flu number -- Americans had a per-capita rate of 279 eggs consumed a year, up 16 percent over the twenty years prior.

EDIT: according to this, numbers are about the same in 2023, dipped a little bit over the past couple years, but looks like there's a pretty low price elasticity of demand.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/183678/per-capita-consumption-of-eggs-in-the-us-since-2000/

In 2023, consumption of eggs in the United States was estimated at 281.3 per person. This figure was projected to reach 284.4 eggs per capita by 2024.

EDIT2: On a non-statistical note, eggs are goddamn delicious.

Almost none. Allergies.

Normally around 6. Ill make scrambled eggs with 3 eggs for breakfast twice a week

Eggs still only 3 something where I am. Don't eat em much but maybe a dozen each month or two.

0

42 a week, or 6 a day.

However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.

With cooking and baking, 12+ per week. Which is about USD 5.60 for the XL bio eggs from the farm shop.

Luckily, I am not in the US.

I mostly use them for baking. I will probably just switch to substitutes going forward. I can live without eggs.

Corporate farming better get its shit together or consumers are going to learn to live without.

Eggs are not that expensive in Sweden, but in all honesty I don't really eat that many eggs in a week. Maybe if we use it as an ingredient, or maybe I'm having a boiled egg as a healthy snack, but I think most weeks it would be 0.
